Yes, it's that time of year ~ Valentine's Day will soon be here! With my next workshop coming up one of the cards requested was a Valentine's Day card, so this is the sample I came up with. We'll see if I use this card or come up with another idea or two. As always, I want to give credit where credit is due, so thank you to Amy Smith for this idea.

I made today's card from the Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge (which I didn't get done in time to enter) , my daughter's challenge to use the color Night of Navy (because she really likes it) and I needed a masculine card to send out...so this is what I came up with. Thanks for looking and have a great day!

I'm back at it again...making one of my favorite flowers ~ pansies. I'd say I'm in the mood for some warmer weather. :) Here is another Mojo Monday skectch ~ #175. I love how they help me put cards together! Hope you enjoy the card and have a wonderful day!

Here's a card I'm going to be doing for a mini stamp-a-stack for my sister and a few of her friends. I made a card similar to this with Glenda at a class or workshop awhile ago and have always loved it!

I'm finally back and ready to post a few things, but only one for now...it's late! Wow, I didn't realize how much work it would be to change my blog around. I wanted to customize my header and that took FOREVER to figure out! But I did it! :)The next few cards I'll be posting are "Oldies, but Goodies" meaning I used a few stamp sets that have been around for awhile. This first set is Antique Autos. I actually started this card as a sample for my sister and used Mojo Monday 174 for the layout. I did have to change my card from vertical to horizontal to fit the car on.

Good morning! Here is my card for the Saturday Sketch Challenge #185 on stamping411. A week or two ago I started cutting out these flowers for a different card. I ended up going in a bit of a different direction with that card. So...not wanting to waste any flowers, I decided to use them for this challenge instead.

To become a little more creative and challenge myself, I decided to follow a couple of blogs and do their "sketch challenges". I posted my first card a couple of days ago and now here's my second one. Yup, I'm already starting to love this...guess it's a good thing, because I'm going to be getting a challenge once a week from my upline...hope I can keep up! For this card I am using the Mojo Monday 172 Sketch.

I thought I'd show the inside of this card too. I like to add just a little bit of something that coordinates with the front of the card.

I decided to try something different and start doing some challenges that I've seen other people posting. So...I checked a few blogs (thanks, Glenda!) to find out where everyone was getting these from. This is the Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch Challenge #184 from stamping411.blogspot.com. I needed to make a b-day card for my niece and decided to use the challenge to help me out.

This is the card I put in the Starter Kit Contest. I kind of took the "only what came in your kit" literally. That means no scissors, paper cutter, sponges, etc! I printed out what came in my kit, put only that on the table and worked from there. I folded and ripped the paper for the card, and ripped out all the flowers and butterflies. I don't ever recommend doing that though...my fingernails are sore! For the sponging effect I crumpled up some very vanilla until it was soft and rubbed the colors on. I also did that on the edge of the flowers, stems and butterflies so the ripped edges didn't stand out as much.
